"Down the Usagi Hole"

"Adventures first... explanations take such a dreadful time."
-The Gryphon

Today
I saw Tim Burton's
"Alice in Wonderland"
and went to
Costco.
------
Surrounded with
the sounds of America
{in Alice}
the smells of it, too
{in Costco}
I felt I was back home.
And I wished to futterwacken
vigorously.
------
Now,
in my apartment,
sit green grapes & Almond Roca,
simple reminders
of how life was
before I turned the page
to this new chapter
in my being-written storybook.

  1. Coming full circle does that to you too.
    I like your description of your life as a storybook.

    Please explain futterwacken to me- I'm not getting enough context clues to know what it means.
